Why S.M.A.S.H. Kids?


For us, Sensory means using all SIX senses.  We will be hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, touching and singing our way through the world of Music, Art and Science!

The study of Music at any age sets a foundation for learning in all arenas.  Plato said “I would teach children music, physics and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning.”  This class is 70% music and movement!  Art and science are integrated in a way that compliments each music lesson and lays a groundwork for more advanced concepts.  These elements really do work together in perfect harmony and the kids will be having so much fun, they won’t even realize they are learning!

Art allows us to really dig in with our hands, get a little messy and tap into our creative energy.  Each personality shines uniquely when children are put to the task of creating an art project, and given the freedom to express themselves through a variety of mediums.   We can have 12 kids in the room and 12 completely different masterpieces!  OH JOY!

Kids are fascinated by their world.  Science is in everything around us and at S.M.A.S.H. Kids we love to help kids make that connection!  We will be exploring science in the kitchen and in nature, combining common ingredients to create big reactions, and setting foundations for more complicated ideas like polymers and what makes hot air rise. 

At S.M.A.S.H. Kids we believe that all these elements work together in perfect Harmony, giving us our formula for success:                                                                                                                                                    

Sensory + Music + Art + Science + Harmony = Fun, Whole-brained learning!
